BEsANr's HOME AT HAM, STEAD.


"He took up Lotty's arm and barred it
to the elbow.
You see: O strong bone and good
length of limb. Nature designed this arm
for a stout, strong woman. A fair breadth
of shoulder too. Nature meant this girl
to be a really fine specimen, look at her
forhead, il is broad and Iowa capable
forehead; and her mouth-see how fine are
the lines and yet how strong. This was
meant to be very noble woman, strong
in her Illusions Of love for husband and
children.
Yet you see, splendid model ruined.
Poor Lofty!
We are always wasting and running fine
models. This street is full of human
wrecks, Valentine /"
The laws of British political economy
say that the men who employ these women,
the men who make these wrecks, are to
get rich. But what is the remedy? Does
Walter Besant give it? he is hardly pre-
pared to do that, though be is of the be-
lief that the only remedy is league, or
federation, or brotherhood Of labor, with
power to compel these oyerworked human
beings to work half time, for double the
present rate of wages. In the meantime,
an attempt is in progress to organize the
labor of women ON large scale. An APP
peal has been issued during the past week
to the public, and the practical results of
Mr.. Besant's former efforts in connection
with the Peoples Palace may be followed
by similar result in this still greater
undertaking. The spirit of trades union
ism is undoubtedly making itself felt
among women who labor, on both sides of
the Atlantic. II organization has helped
men in their industries, why not women?
The coming Autumn will see vast Sis
terhood of Labor started in England, by
Walter Besant and his friends and sup
porters. Let us hope the results will allie
viate some Of the suffering lessen the
human wrecks.
The home life of this author and philan-
thropist is full of charm. Mrs. Besant, a
direct descendant by the way, of Dorothy
Fosters enters fully into her husbands
work, and especially that relating to the
improvement of the condition of working
women. There came to table, the day /
was there, four lovely children; the eldest
son dashing lad of ten, with hazel eyes,
thick set, blueeyed boy of eight; fax
en- haired, pensive girl Of twelve; and a
dainty little maiden Of six, with the most
delicious curls. This is the authors family
two sons and two daughters. Perhaps
some of his club friends will be Mortified
to learn that Mr.. Besant actually romps
and makes himself most companioDable to
this little crowd-plays games with them
on the lawn, swings the hammock with
them, and is sometimes the victim Of n
joke perpetrated by these young conspira-
tors.

Like all successful authors, Mr. Besant
has great capacity for work. He thinks
three or four hours a day is all the time o
writer should spend producing copy. To
attempt more than this affects the quality.
The rest of the working hours of the day
should be spent either in revising work al
ready done or in making study of the
places or people which form the subject of
the book. Above all, walk great deal.
Aud Mr.. Besant's rudy complexion. sturdy
form and clear eye indicate that he follows
his own advice. heard a prominet liter
airy man say the other day that Walter Be
SAINT did not assume enough; that he was
more like q good-natured skipper, or q
genial schoolmaster, than the English au-
thor who had received the greatest honors
of the Jubilee year. A little more hau-
tepr in his composition, this gentleman
thought, would improve Besant. His critic
belonged to the languishng school Of poets,
and wore single eye-glass.
Far from being weakness, the cordial,
unaffected manner OF the author of "All
Sorts and Conditions of Men" is his great
element Of strength. Who could study
life in Whitechapel with single eyeglass
and lavender kid gloves? The good-na-
tured smile, the touch of humanity in his
composition, the affable manner, enabled
Walter Besant Co study the social life Of
East London as no other man has studied
it. He has written good novels, and will
vet write his best novel; bnt he will live
in history In the pages of his two East
London novels: ''AIl Sorts and Conditions
of Men, and the children Of Gideon. I"
In preparing these books he told me that
he literally lived in the East End. His
afternoons and evenings were spent in con-
versing with the lowest classes Of the
working girls. He studied them in their
single room houses, on the streets, in the
East London music halls and in the pits Of
the theatres of that locality. His frank
and unassuming manner gained their com
fidenee, and having won this he obtained
the true story of their lives. That Besant
at times stands with his hands In his
pockets may be true, but that one ''can slap
him on the back the second time one
meets him" is most enphntically untrue.
Walter Besant was born at Portsmouth,
and at an early age imbibed love for sea-
faring men and adventures at sea. ln-h
boyhood ships were ships, and not huge
masses Of floating iron and steel. In sew
eral of his novels he has made good use of
his knowledge of seaports and sailors. His
father Intended him for the ministry, and
he went to Cambridge with the intention
Of becoming Church of England clergy
man. After completing his studies, and
almost on the eve Of his ordination, Mr..
Besant became convinced in his own mind
that he had not been called by the Holy
Spirit to preach the Word. .sNot that /

of this event Of his life, s.apd not that ]

THE United Labor Party Of New York
is going to pieces. The party was made
up principally of wage workers, with o
few visionary theorists who thought they
believed in the doctrines of the sophist
GEORGE The wsgeworkers who com
prised nine-tenths Of the party are'neariy
all socialists, or have strong leanings to-
wards socialism. Georgeism and socialism
are practically synonymous, which is
acknowledged by Mr.. GEORGE himself, in
his claim that his is shorter and better
way to attain the end that socialism strives
for. The one is supported almost solely
by the other. Hence, in kicking the socia-
lists out of the United Labor Party, Of
which feat Mr.. GEORGE made much
boast at the time, Dir. GEOReEskicked out
nearly the whole party.

Mr.. Stamm represented them, and pros

view. The property is cheap and finely

ST. PAUL'S RENOVATION.

With the completion of the new i'm
provements in the interior of St. Paul's
Episcopal church, services were resumed
in the edifce last Sunday, Rev. J. B. Finn
officiating. The pews have been changed
so az to admit of a center aisle. The
chancel has been enlarged by ten feet,
thereby increasing the number of sittings
in the choir and bringing the choristers
nearer the congregation. Female voices
have also been added to the choir. Two
stalls and prayer desks for the clergymen
have been added and placed east of the
choristers. A new carpet of appropriate
design, and harmonizing we'll with the
painting and frescoing, has been laid
over the entire church floor, this being a
liberal gift to the parish from the senior
warden, Daniel Jones. The covering
took 242 yards. The changes have great
ly beautifed the appearance of the
church.
